Configure WEP Legacy WiFi Security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption
mode that is superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. WEP limits the WiFi transmission
speed to 54 Mbps (the modem router is capable of speeds of up 300 Mbps).
Tip: If you want to change the WiFi settings of the modem router's main
network, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when
the new WiFi settings take effect.
